S&P 500 Sees Record Call Buying

Investors buy record S&P 500 call options

SPY

FOMO DRIVES RECORD S&P 500 CALL BUYING Investors are piling into S&P 500 call options, with more than 4 million contracts traded Tuesday—a record—as bullish sentiment accelerates.

Analysts say strong earnings, improving market breadth, and fading macro concerns are fueling a "one-way" flow into upside bets.

UBS expects the S&P 500 to reach 8,100 by year-end, while Bloomberg Intelligence says traders are increasingly worried about missing further gains rather than hedging downside risk.
